When I was using the autobaud setting (s51=255||254||253), I did have
trouble with 38,400. I didn't investigate because I wanted to 57,600. I
now lock DTE at 57,600, and I have not had any problems. (I use uAccess
and a DigiCHANNEL Nu/4i on a Macintosh Quadra 700.) (I assume you have
verified that your machine's hardware can support a clean and sustained
38400 since many machines stop at 19200.)

I was running my WB modems at 57600 baud just fine -- I didn't
notice any increase in throughput -- and the fact of the matter
is that ProYam doesn't support 56700 baud.  The Digi streams drivers
for SVR4 re-uses baud rates in the table, so 50 baud becomes 56700
baud -- and ProYam doesn't like a baud rate of 50 (I don't think it
uses the altered baud rate tables)

I wish Chuck would fix ProYam
